Hello. Sent you a PM

I can't fault the sound of mine. It was completely the missing part to the puzzle after failed attempts with Ashdown and Ampeg. So much of a thicker, fuller tone to it. Got mine second hand and had no previous issues so please don't let me put you off picking one up if you can

Absolute legend sir. Thanks very much!

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone call help me out with the service manual/ wiring diagram for an orange terror bass 500. Mine died the the week and orange haven't been useful in supplying one at all. Can't find it on google or anything. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Hello. I have the M80 (DI+) but have never used the M81 (bass preamp). Because of the sweep mids on the M81 you could probably get it very close to all the sounds available on the M80 and more but not the other way around. That being said the things I find very very usable on the M80 is the colour switch which is kind of a 'make it sound a bit like a Sansamp/ stop it sounding a bit like a sansamp' switch. It also has the distortion channel which because it has the " colour" always on you can use it simply as an EQ change as well as a clean boots in addition to the heavy mid scoop distortion (with clean blend) on offer. You can also take three outputs from it if you want an affected and unaffected signal to desk while still going to an amp. Hope this helps

Rickenbacker 4003 (with flats) Boss TU2- Way Huge Pork Loin- Way Huge Swollen Pickle - EHX Freeze- Boss DD3- MXR M80 Orange TB500- Matamp 410 Usually send DI post from amp but use board if I need to. Have a second pork loin in the bag if I fancy stacking gain. Delay after freeze for causing madness.

Hope you guys enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/fortythousandagainstthearctic/a-generation-of-good-fathers-live-20-8-16

Most of us can get by with a good 210 so anything bigger than this should be capable enough. You have a rig that works so there is no rush. Take your time and go out ands listen to as many rigs as you can and try them out in shops when you have time. Keep going until you find the tone monster you are looking for. The trouble is that all the words we use for describing sound are so vague. Heft anyone? [/quote] I couldn't agree with you more. All I know is that my current cab is the equivalent of a HE cab, designed to be used with a 15 of so,ethic for low end. I really need the "depth" that something equivalent in spec to a HLF. The only thing I can think is front porting?/ tweeter? I'd quite like a 210 but. It if I don't get that depth that I want. And I don't see why not as long as I get the right thing, I just don't know what qualifies. I have seen the next Orange 210 mini but doesn't look that substantial on spec

I'll basically consider any cab as long I know I can get the sound I want from it and I k ow will handle the kind of volumes well. I'm not sold on a 410 specifically, if a 210 would give me what I need them great. The reason for my post is really my concerns that it won't. And my thoughts have been to over spec at every stage. The last thing I want it a crap sounding 210/212 because I'm pushing it too hard. Portability isn't massively important. We will always have a van and a couple of hands to help regardless of this I don't want to go down the 610/810 route. Although I could gig with the studios 810 if I wanted

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1468753766' post='3093056'] Well the reviews on the BF210 are pretty encouraging, however those Fender twins are ridiculously loud. I`ve no doubts a Terror and BF210 will be loud enough, but will there be the depth of sound that you need? I`d probably be looking at the BF410 (or any other good 410) for this. More speakers give that depth to the sound that some equate to volume but its just a bigness which enables to the sound to have a constant presence. [/quote] Thanks, some solid advice. I got to gigs a lot and see 210 combos all over the place and smaller cabs (112/ 212) but with my experience of trying stuff like that (especially with markbass) it just doesn't sound as "big". I suppose I have two sets of issues. Will I get the sound I want and will it compete with the guitars. I know a 410 is the answer really but I don't want to be one of those bands who think they're bigger than they are. I was in bar last night and saw the load in for the venue downstairs which was two Marshall MG30 practice amps!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1468750625' post='3093031'] Having just bought a Barefaced Two10, I'm going to strongly suggest you try one. Then I'm going to run away. [/quote] Hahaha I've read loads about these recently. I'm fairly worried about how they will stack up against the two twins. It's probably worth mentioning that my head is an Orange TB500

so here's the story. I have a Matamp 410 which is a non ported/non tweeter cab so to me sounds really thin and don't at all like the sound of it compared for an Ampeg 410HLF or Ashdown ABM 810 I occasionally have access to. I'm also at the point where I'll be gigging a fair bit soon so size and weight would be an advantage but not a deal breaker. So here is the question, could I get the sort of sound I want from a ported 210? I'm not concerned about volume here at all. I only run my master vol about 2 (that's 2, not 2 o'clock) so I can turn up plenty and will usually have PA support. That being said, we are a very loud band. Both guitarist use early 70's (130w) Fender twins with master around 7 and our drummer is pretty loud. So it still needs to work in this context. The reason I ask is I've seen an old spec Orange OBC 210 available with a fairly big price drop (the old spec not the mini or the isobaric). Could I get closer to the sound I want with this cab or closer at least? My current cab just doesn't handle lows well. I'm also open to other recommendations for a good 210 that will sound similar to a SVT410HLF in the lows dept or lightweight 410 or even a 15 if people think a single would be loud enough? Thanks!

Love mine. The minute I turned it on and without playing with gain or EQ it was exactly what I wanted and had so much. Ore character than the SVT 7 Pro it replaced.

I've never tried it on bass so can't really contribute anything useful but one of the guitarists in my band has one and it's a fantastic pedal. The three modes make it really usable in loads of different contexts but in the same way you know most of the sounds are that specific pedal. I have no idea how it will handle bass, it is quite dark voiced anyway so assume you'll be ok. Sorry I can't help more but wanted to share positive experience of it
